Surely, you have seen examples of clicker training by now. If you have ever seen an aquarium show with dolphin jumping, you have probably heard the distinctive click of a clicker from the trainer.
These little “clickers” make a distinctive noise when clicked. Morton and Cecile will teach you when, why, and how to use the clicker to maximize your training’s effectiveness. The clicker training is used in combination with positive reinforcement training techniques only, and will help you get fast and effective results from your efforts.

You are taught enough about dog psychology for you to understand how to better communicate with your dog on a level he can understand.

They will teach you how to become the Alpha dog-the leader-so that your dog eagerly follows your leads.
Because not all dogs are responsive to the same exact training techniques, Morton and Cecile offer more than one way to teach each exercise. Just try one of the variations until your dog responds favorably to one of them.
You use the clicker to mark the moment your dog does his trick correctly. For instance, the moment your dog has completed the act of sitting when told to sit, you click the clicker to mark and reinforce the correct action. The clicker training will help a dog with problem solving, because to get the click and a reward, they must first figure out what they need to do, and then do it.

Clicker Training Review
Would you like to Become a Super Trainer?
I witnessed a disturbing event one morning when I was running with my dog Rigby off leash. He was galavanting with another bunch of dogs, two Labrador Retrievers and a Border Collie. Rigby adores the water, and I mean fanatical, as were the other dogs, the only difficulty was, their owner didn’t want them get wet…. You can imagine what happened, everyone was in the canal having a ball!
The owner of the 3 dogs called in vain and when they decided to return, to my dis-belief… they got a flogging with their leash, after that Rigby’s playmates kept a clear distance from their boss, and who would be suprised. Rigby came and sat behind my legs watching. At the time he was still quite young, so why was he so obedient?
We had discovered Clicker Training and had been using it for a few months and though only a mere learner, Rigby’s understanding of our instructions was very clear and he knew that if he responded correctly, he would benefit. We still see the others on the odd occasion but their controller still doesn’t comprehend!
